R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records.

I can't see myself at thirty  I don't buy a lacquered thirty 
Caught like flies  preserved for tomorrow's jewelery  again 
Lighted in the amber yard  a green shellback  green shellback 
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes  in tree beer tar black brer sap  
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest  
The consul a horse  Jefferson I think we're lost 

Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings? 
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens? 
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season 
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led? 
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, 
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost 
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, 
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer 

Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback 
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap, 
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game 
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle, 
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, 
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost 
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, 
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
